Event description

Description

Presented by the UC San Diego Library; The UC San Diego Institute of Arts and Humanities; Jewish Studies; Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program; and the San Diego-based European Staff Association

Please join us for a lecture by Dmitry Bykov on Thursday, January 24, 2019, from 5-7 p.m. in the Seuss Room at Geisel Library. This event is free and open to the public.

Vladimir Vysotsky (1938-1980) was a singer, songwriter, actor, and poet — a giant in Russian popular music and popular culture alike. In commemoration of what would have been Vysotsky’s eightieth birthday, the UC San Diego Library is hosting an ongoing winter quarter exhibit on Vysotsky’s life and legacy. Dmitry Bykov, Moscow-based scholar, novelist and poet, will discuss Vysotsky’s life, work, and legacy.

Dmitry Bykov is a celebrated Russian writer, poet, and journalist. He is a well-loved host of television and radio programs in Russia, and is the co-creator, with Mikhail Yefremov, of the popular Citizen Poet project, which presents contemporary Russian topics in the form of classic poetry.
